What to do with the Tree?


For only a little over a generation ago people have been using artificial Christmas trees to decorate their homes for the holidays. Many still traditionally use the real thing. Many of the real trees are planted and replanted yearly just for the use, keeping the wildlife from danger. The artificial tree can simply just be put back in the box. But many are wondering what to do with the real ones.

There are many of ways to dispose of a real Christmas Tree the correct way. It comes from nature, so put it back in nature. Even though the tree will no longer grow, it can still be made of critical use. Simply putting the tree back in the woods or forest will create nesting grounds for wildlife. Adding to a woodline would be best for the animals. You can even throw a real Christmas tree in a lake or small river creating spawning beds for fish. Please make sure the tree is clean in either cases.
If you are unable to place the tree back in nature, you can still do alot by having it recycled. The point is to just keep the tree from going to waste. Its better than throwing it away or dumping it somewhere. Make it of use by someone or something. Call your local conservation they can give you a designated place for disposal.
